Unfortunately, Mike Reilly has been the odd man out on a stacked Bruins defense and has been stuck in Providence of the AHL all season long.

Despite a deal being completed yet, and only two days remaining until Friday's Trade Deadline, there are reportedly still teams interested in Reilly.

According to Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now, at least three teams have inquired about Reilly's availability.

As per Murphy:


''There are teams interested in Reilly. I'm hearing Anaheim, Chicago, and you always gotta include Arizona,'' the source said of the recent NHL trade chatter. ‘'I know the Bruins have let him know that they want to help him get a chance to play regularly in the NHL again since it can't happen in Boston with their cap situation and blue line set.''

Reilly appeared in 10 games for Boston at the start of the season, recording one lone assist. However, the 29 year old has put up an impressive 7 goals and 17 assists in 27 games this season.

Even though his contract is buried in the AHL, it still counts toward $1.875 million of the Bruins cap space. Not only will a move help out Reilly - who belongs in the NHL - but it will give the Bruins a little cap relief.
